So I thought I'd been doing sooo well on riding my bike. Riding faaarr distances and traveling so faaast. I'm not sure why it took me so long to figure out since I've been riding on the same trails near my home that I've gone on for years. I even chuckled to myself one day when my bro said something about 17 mph being close to his top speed because, super speed demon that I've become, I'd been getting close to that speed myself.
Today my bro said something about a certain 10 mile stretch of trail. Umm what? I believe that stretch is way MORE than 10 miles, thank you very much.
It's not? I did some thinking and decided the calibration must be off on my odometer.
Nope, it's been set to kilometers allll summer. I feel kind of dumb.
I'm currently trying to convince myself that watching two seasons of Downton Abbey has made me far more European than I thought.
My goal was to ride 1500 miles this calendar year. I thought I'd racked up about 500. I knew it was going very fast but I just thought I had become that good. It equals about 310 in miles.
Oh well...1190 to go. IF I've done the math correctly.
Food:
My friend took me out to breakfast after I picked her up at the mechanics. Not too much healthy to choose from at the MomandPop greasy spoon she chose. I ended up with a mushroom omelette, hashbrowns, and toast with jelly. Except the toast, it didn't even taste that great and I felt hungry all afternoon with few calories to "spend".
Afternoon snacks were vanilla wafers with peanut butter, 2 apples and wasa crispbread with a laughing cow spaced over the afternoon. I couldn't seem to keep the full feeling so kept snacking.
Supper was deli roast beef and swiss on nutty oat bread and "grilled" in a dry pan. Very good and I had some chex mix too.
I went over on calories a little but think I did ok considering the choices I had and the choices I made. 2041/1930.
Can't wait to weigh in on Sunday and get a "fresh" start no matter if it's win, lose or draw for this week.
As a Canadian I appreciate you km mishap
ReplyDeleteMy car has a MPH button. Long story short, my niece was driving one day and one of us must have accidentally pressed the button. We were both marvelling at how fast we seemed to be going and the odometer only said 70. I was almost proud at how fast it seemed from the passegner seat of the Prius. I'm so glad we realized what was up before we drove through a speed trap.
ReplyDeleteYou'll still make 1500 miles this year.
